This comprehensive sentencing Guide is a resource not only for CDPP lawyers, but for other legal practitioners, judicial officers, and others who deal with the sentencing of Federal Offenders. The guide has been drafted by Des Lane, of the Victorian bar, with input from CDPP.

This Guideline explains the principles and process that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) will apply where a corporation self-reports conduct involving a suspected breach of Division 70 of the Criminal Code (Cth), bribery of foreign public officials or a related offence.
